GEJ's PDP threatens Atiku's PDP with suspension, prosecution

Y'all know there are two PDP factions now so to distinguish them we have to call one - President Jonathan's PDP and the one that broke away last weekend - former VP Atiku Abubakar's PDP. So the chairman of President Jonathan's PDP Bamanga Tukur today held a press conference in Abuja where he threatened members of Atiku's PDP with suspension, called them impostors and said the police should regard them as such. Lol. 2015 will be interesting. What he said at the press conference below.

Our
reason for being here is to neither inform you without any iota of
doubt that the Peoples Democratic Party has no faction and there is
neither room nor reason whatsoever for such a claim under any guise.

The PDP has only one duly elected National Executive Committee (NEC)
under my Chairmanship. I wish therefore to state with all emphasis that
any group of persons parading themselves as leaders of NEC or any other
organ of our party are impostors and I urge all Nigerians, especially
the security agencies and other institutions of democracy to regard them
as such.

Let me state categorically that the PDP as the sole custodian of the
sacred mandate of over 160 million Nigerians and who in the last
fourteen years has lifted high the banner of democracy will not fold its
arms while some undemocratic and unpatriotic elements destroy our
common destiny by causing divisions and confusion among the people.

Consequently, we shall ensure that any person who is not duly
elected into any leadership position in our great party and has not been
duly assigned any role but goes ahead to arrogate such to himself will
be made to face the full wrath of the law.

Similarly, all persons elected on the platform of our great party at
all levels who identify with these enemies of the oneness and greatness
of our party shall have their seats declared vacant as required by law.

We shall leave no stone unturned to ensure that such persons and
indeed any other individual who attempts to subvert the leadership of
the PDP shall reap in full, the consequences of such actions.

I wish to emphasize that the PDP has adequate mechanism for internal
conflict resolution. All party members are therefore advised to
ventilate their grievances through this medium.

There is only one lawfully recognized PDP and I am firmly in charge,” Bamanga Tukur declared.

Meanwhile 26 Senators and at least 57 members of the House of Representatives
have declared loyalty to “The New PDP” chaired by Abubakar Baraje.

This marks the beginning of the end of PDP.But...if for any reason PDP lives through this,then they are never losing grip of power in Nig.So...I hope a third faction sprouts out soon,maybe a fourth too.Bloody Gashes!

I feel the political trepidation in the air! What can I do, but sit back, take swigs off my drink and watch the polity unfold, the belligerent nature between these politicians would surely break them off from their corrupt cabal come 2015 and that's a good thing for democracy.

Abeg these politicians should go and masturbate. If care is not taken, naija will adopt the style of the Egyptians. They should keep thinking we are fools for now...make dem dey shine dey go small small!

Linda pls....I'm young and I don't want to hear d problems of dis old people ooo!!!since I was born dey have been cusin problems and now I hav finished school dem still dey give problem....abeg check am ursef.....linda long time

The state of politics in Nigeria is so funny and the things we let our so called leaders get away with are SO absurd! PDP has made mockery of due process, the constitution, the electorates and the state of affairs for far too long! Why didn't the other party just break and join forces with another party or form their own. But because they know PDP is the rigging party, they don't want to lose that benefit the name bequeaths them. For how long are we going to sit down and watch this men make mockery of us?

I love this whole drama,God is fighting for we the masses of 9ja,when the illegality of the govs forum of 16 greater than 19 I thought it was ok back then for d likes of bamanga and d presidency so why d complain naa !!!

Pls atiku should go and sit. Feel so sorry for the other governors cos he said even though they are forming a new party pdm he will never leaave the pdp. What kind of leader is that. Its such a same that a southern governor will take sides with the north. Well everyone wants power without earning it. Its time we shut people like atiku and ameachi up

Lol@ Tukur's speech. Its too late for them to cry. perhaps our president will learn to be presidential in his activities n behaviour. How can a president be brutally vindictive? He must learn dt d price for peace is expensive. Look @ wat he did to Ibori,Babalakin,Ameachi,Oyinlola to mention a few. Smh for them

What a stupid statement from the mouth of an elderly man? Which banner of democracy did pdp lift high? I didn't want to abuse an elderly man, but pardon me to say keep quiet sir and stop talking rubbish.

Atiku and his likes should have been SUSPENDED long long time ago. Would Atiku tolerate all this nonsense if he were the president? Would OBJ have tolerated it too?There is a sitting president who is the head of the party and people just dey do as them like. Well, no be una fault. Jonathan is a weakling. This is why. I don't even think Jonathan have the grasp and knowledge of how powerful the seat he is occupying is. All Jonathan and his wife wants to be doing is traveling and forming committes upon committes to do their own work for them.Well the hen is coming home to roust for them now.Let's see how the whole scenario plays out.olu@atlanta.

Oga bamanga,go & settle the case in your family before U settle PDP's.One of such is the subsidy thief called your son.......although we all know that you are the big robber...Another one na ur health....Anyways;take am easy before U collapse as you remember say U no well.....

Thirst 4 power could make mofo's lick someones feet.this old hags no wan hang boot.na wa oh,give way 4 youngings.Biko!.That's the reason y everything about africa is like backward cuz we hv old hags in power reasoning backwardly.Biko! Linda I saw Farouk Lawan the other day on TV.Do u mean he is still roaming the skreets despite all the evidence.Na wa oh.I think Nigeria is ripe 4 a revolution.Big time.Linda post my comment oh.a na ma yo gi.Bikonu

Let us pray for PDP. Heavenly Father we thank you for the existence of PDP, we thank you for the confusion in the party, father accept our thanks IJN. Father we pray that more confusion, more crisis and more faction shall sprout out from PDP IJN. They shall not find peace and harmony till after 2015 election. Give the confdence to those that needs to have, so that they can form their own factions very soon. Thank you for answered prayers IJN we pray.

There is crisis in the PDP. That is no news. But legally speaking, there are two PDPs. The impostor PDP knows itself. It is a given that Atiku's is a splinter group that can only transform into another party. Thankfully, PDM, Atiku's own very party, has been registered by the INEC just a fortnight ago. is the calculus not getting clearer? Look well. What I see is that PDP is being disemboweled, and reduced to a far less influential party in Nigeria as the law of diminishing returns sets in; while the splinter PDP, which likely will assume PDM, will likely grow into a behemoth and a far more powerful party than the PDP. The PDM is likely going to produce the president in 2015, as the PDP weakens irretrievable.

WE ARE RETURNING BACK TO THE DAYS OF REGIONALISM IN PARTY STRUCTURE. THE PDP MAY BE REDUCED LARGELY TO A SOUTH-SOUTH PARTY; THE APC A SOUTH-WEST PARTY; THE PDM (ATIKU'S PDP), A NORTHERN PARTY, MORE IN THE CHARACTER AND MOLD OF NPN of the 70's 80's OR NPC OF THE 60's. THE NORTH IS LIKELY GOING TO USE PDM TO RIDE BACK INTO POWER, AND NOTHING ON EARTH WILL EVER BE ABLE TO TAKE POWER AWAY FROM THEM AGAIN. NEVER AGAIN!!

I didn't bother to read bcos i've made up my mind not to waste time reading anything concerning PDP or their govt. The politicians are really a disappointment to this country. The economy keeps on deteriorating, ASUU on strike, masses are suffering, and some bunch of selfish people who have the nation's wealth in their pockets are out their fighting to enrich themselves more. If they like let them cut one another with knives, who cares

Politics! Politics!! Politics!!!...all dese stories aint new to my ears sef..even in d days of old dey were happening...1kings 1:6-8..records d same scenario...so all these things r just part of life...

PDP - Institutions of democracy? Who in the last fourteen years has lifted high the banner of democracy? Tukur God is washin u n Jona..Jona was without shoes wen u started making moni but see urself today..end time for PDP....scumbag ll always b
